Thank you .... I had tried searching with some variation of a two-step search but somehow I wasn't quite getting it ... what did work was as suggested - search first for the event, tag them, then a new search for those who died in the county and are not tagged. I think I had tried this but checked search within search results and that did not work.
Thanks again - I'm happy!
